Who Owns The Rights To No One Lives Forever? No One Seems To Know

When it comes to shooters, Monolith had a good run — Blood, FEAR, Shogo, Condemned… just to name a few. Then there’s No One Lives Forever with its compelling protagonist Cate Archer. So, uh, why haven’t we seen a reboot, or even a re-release of the original games? It might be because no one’s sure who owns the IP.


Can You Figure Out How Much Guardians Of Middle-Earth Really Costs?

Good news: Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment chose today to reveal how much its December 4 MOBA/DOTA-style Guardians of Middle-Earth game will cost. (The game is like League of Legends but with Lord of the Rings characters. Got it?)

Monolith Founder Posts Plans For Enhanced, Multi-Platform Version Of DOS FPS Blood

Ah… there’s nothing quite like setting bad guys on fire with a flare gun or dual-wielding double-barrelled shotguns. These were regular activities in the 1997 DOS shooter Blood, created by Monolith Productions and built on Ken Silverman’s BUILD engine — the same tech behind Dukem Nukem 3D. A forum post by former Monolith CEO Jason “Jace” Hall suggests the studio co-founder wants to bring out a free, enhanced version of the original game.

Thank You, Gotham City Impostors For These Ridiculous Super-Costumes

A few months back, the Monolith-developed shooter offered a wacky if inconsistent take on criminals and crusaders in Batman’s hometown. Gotham City Impostors imagined what ordinary folks who idolised the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime would do if let loose in all-out gunfights.


Xenoblade Chronicles: The Kotaku Review

Xenoblade Chronicles taught me an important lesson: Never trust the Internet.

You see, for the past few months, everybody everywhere on the web has been hyping the hell out of Monolith Soft’s new Wii role-playing game, which publisher Nintendo will release in the United States this Friday (though it’s been out in Europe for almost a year, and in Japan for close to two).


Reset Glitch May Wipe Out Gotham City Impostors Data

A glitch coming when a user updates Gotham City Impostors‘ trial version to a full game is causing reset of some players attributes and statistics, developer Monolith has said, which is particularly troubling since some players have boosted their attributes with paid upgrades.


Gotham City Impostors: The Kotaku Review

Batman’s had lots of sidekicks over the years. Imps from other dimensions, mask-wearing dogs and his own kill-crazy offspring have leapt from the shadows with the DC Comics superhero. He’s trained them, scolded them and in case of Ace the Bat-hound, probably picked up their poop while out on patrol. But there’s been a tacit Bat-approval for all of those partners.
